A 23-year-old Goshen Township woman was arrested Friday at her residence by Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s deputies on charges of trafficking in drugs.

Courtney M. Henry, of 2805 Brightwood Road, was served with a Tuscarawas County grand jury indictment for three fourth-degree felony counts of trafficking in drugs for prescription pill sales involving morphine, which is commonly used for treating severe pain, and methadone, which is used for treating opiate dependence and detoxification. Both drugs are Schedule II controlled narcotics.

A lengthy investigation began this past winter when Law Enforcement Against Drugs (LEAD) detectives received information that Henry may be involved with selling larger quantities of prescription drugs out of her home in Goshen Township. Investigators were able to conduct surveillance and eventually coordinate three undercover controlled buys from her at her home, resulting in the indictment.

Henry is currently on probation out of New Philadelphia Municipal Court for a 2010 assault case.

She is being held in the Tuscarawas County Jail pending arraignment in Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Court at a later date and time.
